Source & extraction context
Evidence label: backtest_shown (source claim, not independent verification). Recorded completeness: 50.0/100. Neither is a performance result.
Names identify source records. Inclusion is not an endorsement or a claim of authorship, ownership or reuse permission. Check the source license before reusing any implementation.
Extraction warnings
Claim warnings
- RECOVERY SIZING: position size increases after losses (martingale/grid/averaging). Equity curves look smooth until the run that does not recover - judge it on worst-case exposure, not win rate.
Opacity warnings
- UNDEFINED ENTRY TERM: the entry conditions are prose naming a concept with no numeric definition, so two readers would implement them differently. Advisory only -- this does not affect the score.
